No, they were absolutely wrong. It's like saying it was wrong for the Web to have common standards and everyone should be using ActiveX, Flash, Silverlight and who knows what else. That argument is complete fallacy. It's really good that the Web managed to get rid of those. But I'm sure lock-in proponents will never get tired for arguing that NIH is "the right way to go".

Why? Because W3C failed in making decent standards. Is CSS and Javascript anyone's idea of good architecture?
- shmerl 1y agoSure, but imagine real world where ActiveX is a thing and arguments like above are presented. South Korea had fun dealing with this nonsense. Direction of the idea you are advocating for is completely wrong.
